Everyone now is talking about the new generation of cameras and directly talk about full frame features .. is it that important to the photography ? or just for some cases like when photographer wanna shot indoor pictures where space is tight .. If the photographer is sports shooter or birding he doesn’t need full frame the cropped sensor would be better because you get a 1.5x multiplier ( nikon ) to your lenses.
What do you think !

I have live view in my D300, and yes it is a great feature especially for Macro.

hey all
what about letting the tools you have right now get you the expensive tools you got right now ?!
start doing some business with the tools you have
if you are a good creative photographer believe me there is someone looking for you in the market
or maybe for the girls they can shoot some wedding
or shoot commercial for some brand
let me teach you a trick
get a kuwaiti product , from a good wealthy company
and take extraordinary shots of the product
get in touch with the company and show them the photos
believe me it will work !!
and if they don’t want it just add it to your profile
pay a visit to some advertisement agencies
show them your profile ,, the might give you a job !
this is how I did it !
my last D200 makes it all
and about the Full Frame
you dont want it if you like your telephoto range
and if you like wide angle you’ll love the full frame
but you’ll have to get expensive glass for it !
thanks all

The downside of Full Frame is that for some shooters, it’s a disadvantage. For example, when I’m shooting sports, I get closer to the game (by around 50%) using a D300 because of the 1.5 DX magnification (my 200mm lens gives the equivalent of a 300mm lens on a full-frame sensor). I lose that advantage with a full frame D700.
There is one more issue, but it’s not a D700 issue; it’s a full-frame issue. The problem with the D700 is the same problem as with the D3; to really experience the full frame sensor advantage, you really have to have lenses that were made to take advantage of the full-frame sensor. If not, and you put DX format lenses on the D700, you get a 1.5x cropped image that’s only around 5 megapixels. If you have a lens like Nikon’s 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens, then you’re in luck—it works great with full frame, and doesn’t do the “DX Crop” thing. However, if you have the popular 18-200mm f/3.5 – f/5.6 VR lens, then your image will be cropped down to 5-megapixels. Hey, better you hear it from me, than learn it the hard way. I guess what I’m trying to tell you is this; you’re probably going to need more than just the D700 body. You’re probably going to need to buy a lens (or two) to make it worth your investment. If you shoot portraits, the incredibly crisp new 24-70 f/2.8 FX lens runs around $1,700. If you shoot landscapes, Nikon’s fabulous 14-24mm f/2.8 FX lens costs around $1,550. In short; you’re going to need the money you save from not buying a D3.
